Elizabeth Haddon

Her father was a Quaker who faced religious persecution and was convinced by William Penn to move abroad.

[2] Haddon, a single woman, set sail from Southwark to the New World in 1701 without her family at the age of twenty or twenty-one.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow drew on Child's account in writing Elizabeth, a poem in the third volume of his Tales of a Wayside Inn.

[9] Although the first recorded commercial female brewer in the Colonies was Mary Lisle, who inherited her father's Philadelphia brewpub in 1734, there is reason to believe that across the river in South Jersey, Haddon was running a more-than-average homebrew operation.

She was buried in an unmarked grave in the Burial Ground of the Haddonfield Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers).
